A little cup of autumn comfort—complete with marshmallow critters enjoying a warm swirl of seasonal sweetness. When I think of fall, the first thing that comes to mind is a pumpkin latte. Though I don’t particularly do Thanksgiving, my family celebrates the Mid-Autumn festival, which centers around a folktale about a rabbit on the moon, so I drew a rabbit in the latte to symbolize this holiday!

Autumn’s icon—rich in texture, warmth and seasonal charm. The first thing I think of in the fall is pumpkins and going to pumpkin patches, so I felt it fit the best to illustrate one for the fall season! Illustrated by Shreya Kalyanaraman/BruinLife.
A turkey caught mid–side-eye—clearly judging your Thanksgiving plans. When I think of fall and thanksgiving I think of turkeys. Turkeys are really mean and they sound funny at the same time, it’s the perfect animal. Illustrated by William P Fallon/BruinLife.
